National Labor Office

The Blue Cross Blue Shield National Labor Office (NLO) acts as a liaison between organized labor and Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies, working hand in hand with unions to ensure health care coverage for working Americans.

Working For America's Working Families

For generations, Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) companies have provided secure and stable coverage to meet the health care needs of America’s working families. Proudly serving over 17 million unionized workers, retirees and their families — more labor unions than any other insurer — we are committed to remaining the top health care insurer for working Americans, now and in the future.

Calendar

We organize educational events and meetings to support our BCBS companies, labor union members, and strategic alliance constituents. We also sponsor and attend events sponsored by international labor unions and organizations, across all industries, to stay informed and ready to support our members in all their health care needs.

Strategic Alliances

We collaborate with external health services vendors to provide best-in-class products and services to BCBS companies and their labor members.

Education & Advocacy

We bring health care industry experts, labor leaders and BCBS Plans together to address the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities of today's health care environment. Utilizing many platforms enables us to reach members where they are and advocate on what may impact our members tomorrow.
